- <property name="Requested" tp:name-for-bindings="Requested"
- type="b" access="read">
- <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
- <p>True if this channel was created in response to a local request,
- such as a call to
- <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection.RequestChannel</tp:dbus-ref>
- or
- <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection.Interface.Requests.CreateChannel</tp:dbus-ref>.</p>
-
- <tp:rationale>
- <p>The idea of this property is to distinguish between "incoming"
- and "outgoing" channels, in a way that doesn't break down when
- considering special cases like contact lists that are automatically
- created on connection to the server, or chatrooms that an
- IRC proxy/bouncer like irssi-proxy or bip was already in.</p>
-
- <p>The reason we want to make that distinction is that UIs for
- things that the user explicitly requested should start up
- automatically, whereas for incoming messages and VoIP calls we
- should first ask the user whether they want to open the messaging
- UI or accept the call.</p>
- </tp:rationale>
-
- <p>If the channel was not explicitly requested (even if it was
- created as a side-effect of a call to one of those functions,
- e.g. because joining a Tube in a MUC context on XMPP implies
- joining that MUC), then this property is false.</p>
-
- <p>For compatibility with older connection managers, clients SHOULD
- assume that this property is true if they see a channel announced
- by the
- <tp:dbus-ref namespace="org.freedesktop.Telepathy">Connection.NewChannel</tp:dbus-ref>
- signal with the suppress_handler parameter set to true.</p>
-
- <tp:rationale>
- <p>In a correct connection manager, the only way to get such a
- channel is to request it.</p>
- </tp:rationale>
-
- <p>Clients MAY additionally assume that this property is false
- if they see a channel announced by the NewChannel signal with the
- suppress_handler parameter set to false.</p>
-
- <tp:rationale>
- <p>This is more controversial, since it's possible to get that
- parameter set to false by requesting a channel. However, there's
- no good reason to do so, and we've deprecated this practice.</p>
-
- <p>In the particular case of the channel dispatcher, the only
- side-effect of wrongly thinking a channel is unrequested
- is likely to be that the user has to confirm that they want to
- use it, so it seems fairly harmless to assume in the channel
- dispatcher that channels with suppress_handler false are
- indeed unrequested.</p>

- <tp:docstring xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
- <p>The contact who initiated the channel. For channels requested by the

- at the time the channel was created (i.e. not a channel-specific
- handle).</p>
-
- <tp:rationale>
- <p>The careful wording about the self-handle is because the Renaming
- interface can cause the return from Connection.GetSelfHandle to
- change. It's something of a specification bug that we don't signal
- this in the Connection interface yet.</p>
- </tp:rationale>
-
- <p>For channels requested by a remote user, this MUST be their handle.
- If unavailable or not applicable, this MUST be 0 (for instance,
- contact lists are not really initiated by anyone in particular, and
- it's easy to imagine a protocol where chatroom invitations can be
- anonymous).</p>
-
- <p>For channels with the Group interface, this SHOULD be the same
- contact who is signalled as the "Actor" causing the self-handle
- to be placed in the local-pending set.</p>
-
- <p>This SHOULD NOT be a channel-specific handle, if possible.</p>
-
- <p>It does not make sense for this property to be in channel
